Longest disco song ever recorded?

[Funky Dude]

I wonder what is the longest disco song recorded back in the 70's.

The longest ones I know of is:

Cerrone - Supernature 1977 (18:23)

Donna Summer - Try Me/We Can Make It/Try Me, I Know We Can Make It 1976 18:00

Jumbo - Turn On To Love 1976 (17:16)

Donna Summer - Love To Love You Baby 1975 (17:00)

Macho - I'm A Man 1978 (17:35)

Do any of you know of any disco songs that go for longer than the ones above?

Heh... The longest one I knew of, which is not a medley of some sort, was Donna Summer's Je T'Aime (Moi Non Plus) which is 15.51.

[Marcodj]

Ehe...



And:





Sugarhill Gang: Rapper's delight --> 14.30



Santa Esmeralda: Don't let me be misunderstood --> 16.12





Café Crème: Unlimited citations --> 10.07

[nikkyo]

romeo & juliet 15:27

how much i love you 16:18

"Judas Iscariot" by Sphinx (Alec R. Costandinos) clocks in at 19 minutes and 16 seconds -- although the first minute and a half of that is only spoken word and sound effects.

The Garage Classic "E2-E4" from Manuel Gottsching: Side A (31:36) and Side B (23:00)

Actually, it's longer than that. The LP version, in addition to being cut in two, has a few minutes edited out. The unabridged version that clocks in at about 58 minutes was not available until the album was released on CD. However, I *really* wouldn't consider this to be a disco track...

[disco1999]

Donna Summer - MacArthur Park suite 17:47

Love & Kisses - You must me love 16:51

Tantra - The hills of Katmandu 16:20

Giorgio Moroder - Evolution 15:16

OH MY GOD! This is one album that I must have! Larry Levan used to play this intro @ the Paradise Garage and I used to go bananas.



Great memories indeed for this album.

Well, I was going to say the Sphinx(aka Costandinos) track but, as I scrolled down it was already said.

Another one of the longest disco songs that comes to mind is the 14-minute version of "Touch Me Baby/Dancing In the Night/Love Is the Ultimate" by ULTIMATE (1979 Casablanca), which has a very lush, mock-symphonic orchestrated sound and suggestively cooing female vocals, reminding me of the 18-minute version of Donna Summer's "Try Me, I Know We Can Make It," which happens to be my all-time favorite song.

Don't forget the mix Black Sun-Disco Heat with the side a Black Sun (16:46) and the side b Big Money (14:01)...a real underground disco!

[jazz_pilgrim]

I have a number of LP's where one track takes up the whole of one side. Unfortunately, none of them have times...



Munich Machine - Get On The Funk Train

Meco - Theme from Star Wars

Cerrone - Love In 'C' Minor (a worn out old musicassette - must replace one day)

[Intergalactic gary]

I have this album from an Italian group called Automat-title automat that has no time on the label or cover but i think the actual time is somewhere between 18&20 minutes.[great synthesizer disco]

Glad to hear you mention this overlooked, but great song. For those that want to listen to a clip, it's in the Disco Vault under "B."
